Letters you can send, a worksheet for comparing quotes, checklists, a seawall height lookup and a glossary. Every template is readable and printable in full on its page, with no email needed. Where something states a figure or a legal rule, it names the source.
Pick your city and see the height it requires, with the code section and the date we checked it.
ToolA screening of your seawall, dock and deck from public data and your answers. Not an engineering inspection.
ReferenceWhich counties set a seawall height, and which leave it to each city.
Plain-English letters and worksheets with lines to fill in. Each is a template, not legal advice.
A notice about your seawall usually gives you a short window to respond.
WorksheetTwo seawall quotes rarely price the same job. One includes the permit fees and the surveys.
ChecklistA buyer's inspector, engineer and lender will all ask about the seawall, usually inside a short inspection period.
LetterSeawalls on adjoining lots tend to share their problems: where one is failing, water and soil can move behind the next.
LetterBefore you buy, sell, or answer a notice, you need the wall's permit history: what was permitted, when, and whether each permit closed.
Every sheet, checklist and guide we publish, in one place.
